Calling Otton the top target for Tampa Bay in the passing game is quite the understatement; as no other receiver had 40 yards. The 26-year-old tight end not only had a touchdown, but picked up what was essentially a game-clinching first down late in the game on a connection with Baker Mayfield. Amazingly it was the first touchdown of the season for Otton, but outside of those lack of scores it was a solid season for the fourth-year player. Otton will head to free agency after the season. He could get a chance to find the end zone again in the playoffs, but they’ll need the Saints to upset the Falcons.

The Cardinals bolstered their offensive line depth with the seven-year veteran that has played all offensive line positions except center during his career. Pryor made 15 starts for the Bears in 2024 but has amassed only 40 starts in 109 career appearances since 2019. The details of the contract were not yet made available.

It’s a reunion for Johnston, who played for the Steelers in 2024 before splitting time with the Bills and Giants last season. The Australian punter appeared in just four games last season and averaged 44.5 yards per punt while landing 18.2 percent of his kicks inside his opponent’s 20-yard line. Johnston will likely compete to earn the punting job in training camp.

The financials of the deal were not immediately made available. Moore managed only four appearances for the Panthers in 2025 due to a serious elbow injury and was made a healthy inactive for the team’s Wild Card loss to the Rams. Familiarity with head coach Dave Canales and his veteran presence in the locker room were enough to warrant a new contract, although he is likely to play behind Tetairoa McMillan, Xavier Legette, and Jalen Coker.

The four-year veteran came into his own in 2024, starting 17 games for the Chargers as a rotational run-stopper. He heads to Dallas on a one-year, prove-it deal after failing to remain with the Chargers following his rookie deal. The move appears to be a depth play for a team continuing to search for ways to make up for the loss of Micah Parsons.

Open competitions do not often favor the incumbent, particularly an incumbent who is likely to miss most of the offseason activities and training camp with a torn ACL. We’d handicap Tua Tagovailoa as the favorite to win the job at this moment, giving him some QB2 superflex upside in what figures to be a run-first offense with Bijan Robinson.

Primarily a contributor to special teams, Green provides big-bodied depth at corner and has familiarity with head coach John Harbaugh. His six tackles on special teams in 2025 ranked second on the team despite playing in only 11 games.

After starting all 15 games he appeared in during the 2024 season, Locke made just three starts in 16 games last season, totaling 16 tackles and three pass breakups. The former UDFA became a major contributor for the Broncos in 2023 when he emerged to total 53 tackles, three sacks and five pass. Locke will join former Broncos DB coach Christian Parker in Dallas, and is capable of lining up from multiple spots. Even if he doesn’t earn a “starting” role in Dallas, Locke will likely see plenty of work for the Cowboys next season.

NFL insider Jordan Schultz reports Wright’s deal is “worth up to $5.5 million.” The fifth-year corner turned in a career year with the Bears in his first season with the team, starting a career-high 16 games while forcing five interceptions and breaking up another 11 passes on his way to earn his first Pro Bowl nod. Wright, who stands at 6-foot-4, plays predominately on the outside and will likely get another chance to start in Aaron Glenn’s system as hopes to replicate last year’s success.

Jenkins mysteriously had little market after three years of outstanding PFF grades in Chicago, then wound up mostly playing off the bench for the Browns in 2025. He had a career-best 77.7 PFF blocking grade in 324 snaps. We’re guessing he’s not getting a major contract here, but it’s another solid signing for the Browns as they try to rebuild their offensive line.

The move clears nearly $8.8 million in cap space, per ESPN’s Todd Archer. Clark, who was a part of the trade that sent Micah Parsons to the Packers, was solid in his first season with the Cowboys. The veteran lineman appeared in all 17 games for the fourth-straight season and totaled 36 tackles, six TFLs, and three sacks. He remains under contract through 2027.
